Many reasons....

Just because a couple have a baby doesn't mean they really like each other....let alone love each other. Some have babies from a one night stand or some fling.

Some have babies without planning or knowing if the "relationship" can last. A woman having a baby for a man won't necessarily keep him around let alone make him wanna marry her.

You're a shallow individual.


Also, a lot of people don't understand and/or lack the mental fortitude it takes to raise a child.. but it's one of those mistakes you can't undo so they(most times the mother) just has live with it. I mean take a look at some of the childless people around you.. friends/coworkers/relatives.. look at the decisions they make in life and ask yourself if that person is mentally equipped to handle parenthood.

Children can quickly expose and magnify the flaws in a relationship. I don't know if it's just me, but Mexicans seem to pull it off somehow. Their culture seems to expect their young adults to have kids at a young age, so the support system is there naturally. I understand there is a lot of them and that contributes to the perception of them staying together, but I'm sure the actual data would show a lot of them split too.

Alot of couples don't last after kids because number one they don't see eye to eye on how to bring up the child. Number two one or both parties are selfish. Now we have this baby it is taking the focus away from me. Number three the daddy won't help with the baby so the mama feels like she can do bad all by herself.. she is doing it all anyway. Number four the daddy is upset that the mama is chunky now and is not trying to do anything about it.

It's many factors on why people don't stay together after kids... Mainly dumb ones.
